End of degree projects within the Degree in Computer Science, helping the Red Cross to manage and share information between staff, volunteers, expatriates, etc. Worsened by the fact that in many places connectivity is expensive or inexistent.

System to transmit information, sending smallest packages, and with nodes of the network that can either operate isolated or networked when connected one to the other or to a central server.

End of Degree Projects and other ways of integrating Cooperation for Development in UniversitiesSandra Pérez Martínez. Ingeniería Sin Fronteras-Asturias.

Project in Tindouf (Argelia, refugee camp for saharaui people). The project is a diagnosis of communication systems in refugee camps.

Also projects about technology transfer on water management.

Try and combine both technologies: radio communication between water management installations.

Same between health institutions to detect needs for pharmaceuticals.

Communications are done by using radio taxis.

Conclusions: awareness raising at the university, useful knowledge transfer and a platform to boost nonprofit activity in the developing cooperation sector. Technolgy can be reused, saving duplication of efforts, wasting resources, saving time, going straight to the technology that has been already tested.
